20090117931POWER CONTROL FOR COMBINED DYNAMICALLY AND PERSISTENTLY SCHEDULED PUSCH IN E-UTRA - A power control scheme for an enhanced Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is disclosed. In a first embodiment, when an uplink grant is configured for accumulation commands, the wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) combines the accumulation commands received in both the scheduling grant and the transmit power control physical downlink control channel. In a second embodiment, when an uplink grant is configured for absolute commands, the WTRU resets the accumulation control function immediately after receiving each absolute transmit power control command and then combines the absolute power control with the accumulation power control.05-07-2009
20090257472INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION IN A SPREAD SPECTRUM COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A code division multiple access communication system transmits a pilot and traffic signal over a shared spectrum. The pilot and traffic signal have an associated code and are received over the shared spectrum. The received signals are sampled and the samples are delayed to produce a window. A weighted value for each despread pilot code window sample is determined using an adaptive algorithm. Each window sample is despread with a traffic code. Each despread traffic code window sample is weighted according to a weight corresponding to its respective pilot code sample.10-15-2009
20090316762SCALING USING GAIN FACTORS FOR USE IN DATA DETECTION - Data is estimated from a received vector comprising a plurality of communications. A received wireless signal is converted to a baseband signal, which is sampled to produce a received vector. Channel responses are estimated for the received communications. The noise variance is estimated. The noise variance is scaled by a scaling factor. Samples are processed using the estimated channel responses and the scaled noise variance to produce a spread data vector. The spread data vector is despread to recover the data of the received wireless signal.12-24-2009
20090323773METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIGNALING PRECODING VECTORS - Methods for signaling precoding matrices used at the Node-B for data transmission with multiple user-multiple in multiple out (MU-MIMO) wireless communications. Precoding vectors may be efficiently signaled between wireless transmit/receive units and base stations using control channels, reference signals and blind detection of the precoding information.12-31-2009
20090323849METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A method and an apparatus for performing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communications are disclosed. A Node-B may receive an index to a pre-coding matrix in a single user MIMO (SU-MIMO) pre-coding codebook from wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) and adaptively perform one of SU-MIMO or multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) based on a predetermined criterion. Channel information for performing MU-MIMO may be obtained based on the pre-coding matrix of the SU-MIMO pre-coding codebook. A rank requested by the WTRU may be overridden if the unitary MU-MIMO codebook is a subset of the SU-MIMO pre-coding codebook. If not, a MU-MIMO pre-coding matrix with a largest correlation to the pre-coding matrix may be selected. A WTRU may send a pre-coding matrix for transmission to the WTRU along with a preferred interference matrix. A WTRU may send rank information and multiple right singular vectors for MU-MIMO.12-31-2009
20100227569CONTROL CHANNEL SIGNALING AND ACQUISITION FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION - A method and apparatus for handling a control channel for carrier aggregation in wireless communications. The method includes determining which component carrier to listen to, detecting the downlink control channel, processing mapping information related to downlink and uplink transmissions and operating discontinuous reception with respect to carrier aggregation. The method also includes detecting a component carrier, determining the component carrier type and locating the anchor component carrier, if necessary, where the anchor component carrier carries the carrier aggregation information.09-09-2010

20090213911CODE TRACKING LOOP WITH AUTOMATIC POWER NORMALIZATION - The present invention is for a receiver incorporated into User Equipment (UE) or base stations of a code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system. The UE and base station are in communication with one of the plurality of base stations and receives a communication signal through the receiver. The communication signal is correlated using a delay locked code tracking loop, that estimates and tracks a channel delay. The tracking loop comprises a reference code generator and an interpolator for generating timed signal versions in response to said communication. A timed signal correlator, included in the tracking loop for correlating at least two of the timed signal versions with the code reference signal. The result of the correlation is used for generating an error signal. An automatic power normalization loop (APN), that is responsive to the interpolator, generates a power error signal that normalizes the error signal through a normalization circuit.08-27-2009

20080240302Communication System with Receivers Employing Generalized Two-Stage Data Estimation - A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configure to receive and sample wireless signals in a shared spectrum where the wireless signal comprise encoded symbols. The WTRU has a channel estimation device configured to process received signal samples to produce an estimate of a channel response of the received signals corresponding to a matrix H. The channel estimation device is preferably configured to process the received signal samples to produce an estimate of noise variance of the received signals. The WTRU preferably has a two stage data estimator that includes a channel equalizer and a despreader. The channel equalizer is configured to process received signal samples using the estimated channel response matrix H and the estimate of noise variance to produce a spread signal estimate of the received signals. The despreader is configured to process the spread signal estimate of the received signals produced by said channel equalizer to recover encoded symbols of the received signals.10-02-2008
20080310374MITIGATION OF INTERFERENCE IN CELL SEARCH BY WIRELESS TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE UNITS - A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) provides facilitation of cell search. In one embodiment, received samples are split into a plurality of sample sets for processing. Each of the sets is processed and an accumulated result is divided by an estimated noise value. In another embodiment, a code correlator correlates the received signal with a primary synchronization code and an auxiliary code correlator having a same length as the code correlator correlates the received signal with a code having a low cross correlation with the primary synchronization code. In another embodiment, a division of an accumulated result with a noise estimate is performed using indexes of the most significant bits.12-18-2008
20090054094METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A CODE GROUP REPRESENTATIVE OF A NUMBER OF BASE STATIONS - A method and apparatus for identifying a code group representative of a predetermined number of base stations is disclosed. A chip offset within a frame is input into a first correlator. A plurality of samples of chips at which a primary synchronization code (PSC) has been detected are input into the first correlator. Output of the first correlator is multiplied by the complex conjugate of the PSC to obtain a magnitude for the signals being transmitted at the chips inputted into the first correlator. The magnitude is summed over four frames. The summed signals view of a predetermined set of decision variables is evaluated. A case number, a code group, a timeslot location, and a system frame number are determined based on the evaluation and noise estimation.02-26-2009
